No depth.

Because Niantic are a bunch of useless fucks.

It didn't.

They raised a golden goose and decided to stop feeding it.

>sorted by rating, not popularity or grossing
>sorted below a bunch of games that literally reward you in-game for posting favorable reviews

Of course it was going to drop in number of players, what, did you expect EVERYONE (this includes: Normies, boomers, dudebros, vapid women, you name it) to keep playing it? As long as they keep updating it, it's going to be fine.

Go into the store right now, there is no "sorted by rating", you fucking moron

>Make more money than God the first few weeks
>'Flop'

Every company wishes they could flop that hard, user.

it's the most profitable mobile game ever

it made 120m, way more than most aaa games

>make more money means its a success

>$120m
>a lot for a AAA game
>GTA V made $800,000,000 in a single day

???
Then what is success?

a game that I like

that's literally what success means

>goes for a walk
>captures 100 zubats

congrats that's already 90% of the game

It's made over 250m now, user-kun.

>Googles how much a game sold
>multiplies by 60
>thinks thats how much money they made

Fucking retarded fuck. Typical Cred Forums

>Japanese app store
kek

But that's wrong you retard.
It was the most profitable for a single month. It has not come anywhere close to the kind of dosh games like clash of clans or candy crush have raked in.

I'm not familiar with phone games. Which of those have microtransactions?

Reminder that No Man's Sky made at least $60 million off of steam sales alone, in all likelihood they probably made more than $200 million total with little development costs.

I don't think you understand.

GTA V quite literally made 1 billion dollars in less than a week.

Because it's not as deep as the pokemon games. Seriously where are the pokemon centers? Where are the stores to be able to buy stuff? Why not add NPCs to fight?

The devs aren't adding meaningful content to it, keep making the experience worse (nerfing tracking, nerfing catch rates) and the game rewards sitting down in between three pokestops with lures together with a hundred other people than it does walking around.

My girlfriend and her siblings still play it but that's because her brother wrote an app to email them when there's a rare pokemon nearby so when they get the email they just drive out and go get it or whatever.

...

???????

The devs are what's wrong. The game has potential but it'll stay a shitty mobile game.

I liked it for about a month.

>take out the tracking
>release in more countries than your servers can handle
>fix one bug and a new one pops up
>shut down 3rd party pokemon trackers
>still no trading
>still no legendaries
>still no proper pvp/battle
That's why people dropped it, I still play it because I don't mind actually walking around and hatching eggs.

>game blocks your device if it's rooted
literally the most retarded thing they've done

It's the name and the concept that made those sales.
The actual game only hindered them.

Fuckemoron Gofuckyourself fag literally BTFO.

>Shironeko spinoff making money
DELETE THIS

It didn't flop though, you are just a meme loving retard trying to push the whole "durr everything is blunder of the year" shit that Cred Forums has had for a while now.
